Program Information

   Guidance/Discipline Policy We believe in positive language, active problem solving, appropriate limits and positive consequences for desired behavior and we strive to model these ideas within empathetic and caring classrooms. Some children need extra support in working on challenging behavior. By this we mean behavior that isn¿t working for the child, occurs often, and impacts their ability to learn and play. ¿ Burlington Children¿s Space does not suspend, expel, reduce hours, or send children home because of challenging behavior. ¿ Never hurt a child physically or emotionally. ¿ Never try to teach a child to behave by isolating them, or by using food as a punishment or reward, or by denying them basic needs. ¿ Finally, we believe in the power of love and acceptance and that we have as much to learn from young children as they can learn from us. We work with children to help them have better self-control. We use positive methods to do this. We might: 1. Teach skills by using songs, books, games, and reminders. 2. Model how to behave. 3. Redirect them to a better activity or set limits. 4. Let them know what will happen if they keep doing something they should not be doing. 5. Provide the space or time needed to get back in control. Even with these things in place, children might still exhibit challenging behavior, we will follow these steps to address/support the behavior: 1. Collaborate with the family to talk through the behaviors. 2. Complete Behavior Incident Reports to collect data and track behaviors. 3. Collaborate with Champlain Valley Head Start¿s Behavior Support Specialist to complete classroom or child specific observations. 4. With consent from the family, submit a referral to the Howard Center.       :
   At Burlington Children¿s Space, we believe that young children thrive when their learning is cultivated within a stimulating and nurturing environment that takes into consideration the ¿whole¿ child. Family, culture, socioeconomic background, and developmental stage are all integral parts of each child and should be welcomed as integrated parts of a rich environment. We strive to create a sense of community for our children within the Center and help them feel a part of the larger community they live in as well. Children are competent learners. We respect and value their curiosity, their social nature, their purposeful inquiries, and their incredible perseverance. We believe that children will demonstrate their own complex and meaningful agendas for learning as they all possess a natural desire to challenge themselves and embrace new experiences. We believe in positive language, active problem solving, appropriate limits and positive consequences for desired behavior, and we strive to model these ideas within empathetic and caring classrooms. Finally, we believe in the power of love and acceptance and that we have as much to learn from young children as they must learn from us.
